Press Reviews December 11th 1998 Suntimes/Pop-Rock Jim DeRogatis--The Gonzo, gum-chewing Masura was always one of the best things about Motorhome, and she shares vocal duties with Sarah on tunes such as "Drop-In Girl" and "Sterile."The sound is anything but (sterile, that is), and under the heavy layers of fuzz guitar, you can hear the group stalking out territory somewhere between Sleater-KInney and Tuscadero.
